Simulated Thermal Response of the Bedrock Heat Battery System

摘要

An optimal configuration of the geothermal heating system can be obtained simulating different configured system varying length and distance among the boreholes. The boreholes are needed to be organized in an efficient way so that maximum heat can be transferred while injection or extraction modes. This project is initiated to store the heat emitted by a diesel engine laboratory in an underground bedrock. Heat can be injected in the ground to bedrock about 200 meters below the surface. This heat energy is then extracted by the heat pump to a heating system from the same or different borehole. Furthermore, it will regulate through the distribution channels to a building for heating purposes. This study is used to analyze the thermal response of the model of this system so to anticipate the results of thermal behavior and multiple configurations of geothermal boreholes.
